Manip: Love at First Punch/ Checkmate

Sparks fly upon first sight (or rather first punch) between Jonathan Bishop who locks eyes with Eleanor "Nell" Brandon, at a party they don't want to be at- unaware that they're on a collision course...

On paper, they couldn't be more different- while Jonathan is the proverbial black sheep and middle child in a family consisting of his sisters and mother, Nell is the golden and only child in her family, en route to following in her parents' career paths and footsteps, with no room for contemplation or Plan B's. While he longs to follow his heart in becoming a mystery writer and out of the small town where he lives, she is content with where she "has" to go- her eyes are set on Harvard, her parents' alma mater. He embraces unpredictability, she downright rejects it. If there's one thing they do have theoretically in common- they both choose to be happily single and falling in love is NOT an option for either of them.

But they both have a hidden talent- while Jonathan can read people through body language without blinking an eye, Nell is overly and incredibly empathetic and can tell when something doesn't seem right in a situation...

So when a person they both care about is found murdered the following morning- they find a kindred spirit in each other's grief and decide to take matters into their own hands.

What happens when a night of passion, startling revelations and caveats as they go about their investigation, instigate something that neither one of them are prepared for- falling in love?

Starring:

Darren Barnet as Jonathan Bishop

Natalia Dyer as Nell Brandon

Summary: a grittier version of Literati (Jess and Rory from Gilmore Girls) solving mysteries in a Twin Peaks style town with Riverdale season 1 romantic drama and 2000s nostalgia/ TV shows (Veronica Mars/Law and Order SVU).

I hate you shipping discourse I hate you unnecessarily aggressive DNI banners I hate you dehumanization of those you disagree with I hate you harassment over ships or favorite characters I hate you purposeful lack of nuance I hate you false equivalencies I hate you policing how people engage in fandom I hate you actively trying to make fandom spaces hostile I hate you refusal to filter your feed I hate you making it everyone else's problem

#like no it's actually not ok for you to send death threats to someone because you don't like how they're shipping characters #ok to reblog #i hate you meme #anyway back to ao3 #because i think original context tends to be helpful to know #this post was about zadr. and by extension an//ti zadr.#but i know this applies to a lot of fandoms

valerith, the red swan

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd 5e #ttrpg #dnd oc #digital art #sketch #dnd art #dnd oc art #original character #original character art #can i tag her as bg3 bc I've imagined her in the bg3 setting besides just fr #guys you have no idea how much brain rot I've had about her in the last few days. it's extensive #i may even need to see a brain rot specialist if it continues #if you've been here u may remember regular valerith but as I've been playing bg3 I was like. wait a minute #dnd valerith. she's already a demon let's make her a proper devil. a lot of her backstory is the same just dnd'ified #verchiel was a im going with planetar that served lathander bc actual angel verchiel fits lathander's stuff pretty well #her goodness and honestly got her into some deep shit she considered as a possibility but very very very very unlikely of happening #lathander was like man well. cant just let this slide. also why not use it as an example sorry #so she was cursed to become a devil and her angel s/o followed her after trying to interfere and be like um no??? this is bs #so now theyre in the hells and still love each other but also are extremely conflicting bc while valerith SHOULD be lawful evil she's not #she's on a fine line between chaotic good and neutral.#if valerith were an npc in anything she'd have a quest after trusting whoever enough being like. hey. so. i don't want to be a devil anymor #i'm tired of it. i heard about this ritual that might be able to fix it but it's dangerous in both getting the supplies and performing it #and if anything goes wrong i could very well suffer significantly in multiple ways for it.#her s/o doesnt like this just as much as she doesn't like the idea of them wanting to overthrow fierna in the 4th circle of hell where #they reside so. theyre kind of at a conflicting neutral state. they love each other but they also dont talk about those things in a good wa #anyway valerith i think would have a chance to become a quasi-deity being that's true neutral #and i have a design in mind but :>#if you read all of this youre actually insane.

i want bix to deal with her trauma in messy fucked up ways in season 2. put actual healing second to avenging her old self. burn like a sun that destroys the empire around her while simultaneously consuming herself. suppress fear and sadness while trying to convert them into more, more, more rage. get beyond angry if anyone tries to stop her from her single-minded goal of killing every imperial on ferrix, even out of concern or to try to get her to take a break. meet up with cinta. burn hot in contrast to cinta's burning cold. detach from everything but reclaiming ferrix. realize at some point that the drive for revenge can’t sustain her and she's hollow and she's imploding but she can’t stop and she won’t stop she'd rather burn herself to ashes if it means taking just one more imperial with her

#i think it's a natural extension of her character to feel absolutely revolted and terrified of how weak she became #and be determined not to go back there at all costs #and have a very fucked up idea of what constitutes strength #active war leaves no room for healthy slow long-term healing that would leave most people scarred for life even in the best of times #let her be powerful!!! powerful in a rageful unhinged sort of way!!!#andor #bix caleen #an e original

I’m just a ten cent copy

Of people far more advanced than me

#Stej #spark the electric jester #spark the electric jester spoilers #float #Clarity #flint #spark #art tag #Float is so so much 2 think about. Even before she died there was still this acknowledgement of like.#She does not know who she was before she just knows she was discarded and literally buried alive and everything just gets worse for her :(#character who deserves some kind of resolution the most I think/#I can’t fully wrap my mind around how Clarity’s replica works (ignoring what was said about her and Astra #solely being extensions of clarity bc I think that kind of sucks and doesn't fully make sense 2 me anyway)#like she is not the original ofc and float was already dead before assimilation but she is still clearly enough of a copy #that she has her feelings and (assumedly) resembles her formie body from before she was experimented on #Something even she didn’t remember‚ & I'm just curious how exactly clarity made her so faithfully 2 float and how much she has that #same kind of cognition and emotional independence that Astra did‚ even if she is only trying to achieve clarity’s goals.#I know WHY float was used 2 trick spark into reaching the Fark force the point was that shes just. Still so real and it’s so sad #The original float is gone but she is still here and she still remembers her life and feelings it’s soo fucked up #The only autonomy she has ever had over herself was when she and flint met each other. She just has been used so much even after death!!#I don’t want to make assumptions about something that isn’t out but like. If floats just gone now after doing so much to reintroduce her as #an agent of clarity I think it would be such a disservice 2 her Character like how interesting could it be to have float but she is not the #same as float she has this girls face and memories but she has been so fractured and manipulated that like. Who could she be now #that clarity isn't in control and she no longer has a purpose. if she ever got to reunite with flint would he be willing to trust her?#Would she want to reconnect with these emotions and memories that she knows she’s been programmed from? How would it feel to know #that everyone else has this idea of you and a history that for you technically isn’t real but it still FEELS real. AUGH #Anyway. segmented like a bug get it #ask to tag #Taphophobia #Blood

Frankly I think Alistair being mildly shitty to that mage in Ostagar seems pretty in-character for the guy he is before the massive, life-altering trauma that is the Ostagar massacre wherein he sees all of his Grey Warden comrades, his beloved mentor/father figure, and his beloathed half-brother/convenient-target-of-projection absolutely torn to shreds by literal Thedas boogeymen. IIRC Morrigan and Flemeth both comment on his wack behavior after Ostagar and then by the time we get to Lothering Alistair just fully surrenders any and all responsibility (and, frankly, agency) to the player's Warden for the foreseeable future. It can then take anywhere from a couple IRL hours to the entire second act of the game for him to retake almost any amount of it back. And depending on the player's choices in dialogue, and especially whether or not they choose to romance him, we may only see flashes of that guy we met at Ostagar before he potentially morphs into almost someone else entirely (hardened!King!Alistair). All that to say, I don't actually think it's a useful criticism of "characterization" to bring up Alistair's glibness as compared to his behavior in the majority of the game because from where I'm standing (looking directly at his snottiness about Cailan, his complaints about being assigned to the Tower of Ishal, his Templar-esque focusing on Morrigan and Flemeth being apostates, his generally pretty brusque manner with the Warden recruits) it seems fairly in-line with the rest of his behavior at Ostagar.

#like seriously he's a bit of a dick (more than what becomes usual) while at ostagar #before his world is shattered and his brain (and personality) is completely rearranged by seeing everyone important to him slaughtered #he clings so hard to the warden as a lifeline that he kind of goes full-on fawning mode for a little bit there #just giving up the reins completely and following orders as (imo) a method of coping with massive loss and trauma #throughout the course of the game he recovers somewhat and goes back to being kind of a dick #and/or growing up pretty extensively and becoming a much better and more tolerant person as a whole #but the idea of him being a dick to a mage because he's being moved around like a chess piece rather than a person #by someone who should NOT have the authority to do that and that fuckin ANNOYS him and then this dude's getting all up in his face about it #as if this was HIS decision and then being accused of harassing this random ass dude he could not give less of a fuck about for funsies #and thus him going full obnoxious shithead teenager about it is somehow OUT of character?? for ALISTAIR??? wack #like nah bro i know we all love ali but our vision is being obscured by that love and also how sweet he is in a romance #just being besties with him unlocks an incredible amount of unfiltered BITCHINESS that is fully in-line with ostagar!alistair's shenanigans #dragon age: origins #alistair theirin #by apples #da meta #anyway there's been disk horse on my dash for the last couple days and this is my take on it

In 2 or 3 years when we meet Mammon for the first time and Hazbin Hotel comes out and we get Lucifer action and lore, I hope to see at least one edit with that one part of Biggering about Pride and Greed.

"Greed is like a little pet. The more and more and more that you feed it, the hungrier it'll get. But you know, you can't really blame greed. That's stupid. You see, it's got a worm inside. That worm always needs to feed, and is never satisfied. And the more you try to find it, the more it likes to hide. That is a nasty little worm, [and] I like to call it pride."

#helluva boss #hazbin hotel #helluva boss mammon #hazbin hotel lucifer #when we really get to see the relationships between the sins #i really want to see something symbolic like this play out #cuz pride #and by extension lucifer #is the original sin #but as far as we know characters like bee and ozzie are hellborn #so what's up with that?#the show seems to be taking an anti-heaven stance and classism critique #so when hazbin hotel and helluva boss's plots start to get really large-scale #i'll be there for it

got curious and read the toms memories from hbp and i still DONT understand why the fuck dumbledores beefing with this 11-year old kid. like him trying to explain to harry his analysis even with like u have NOTHING bro.....u knew two facts about tom when u first entered and u immediately assumed he was a bully, without regards to any context. i thought the cave thing would be more specific but theres legit nothing in it to show any malicious intent. tom showing them magic in an effort to impress but traumatized them instead is just as likely as tom doing something awful to them there, theres not much info to go from there, but dumbledore seems to be hellbent in scaring tom with the cabinet and the box and warnings of expulsion (which i find laughably funny when harry and co were stealing ingredients from snape as early as year2)

all i got from the orphanage flashback is tom being a troubled child considering his background (and my personal interpretation, lit just him having difficulty navigating around people who are not in the spectrum too), got wary thinking dumbledores a doctor, showed actual excitement with the confirmation that he actually is Something, and then get blasted by dumbledores cold shoulder that made him immediately close up, with him admitting he can talk to snakes in one last effort to impress him

its just so bizarre...like bro i just cant imagine treating a kid like this. as a character dumbledores p interesting but my god please let other people in the faculty talk to children and stay away from them GMFDMGDFMG

#like bro uve failed tom...uve failed snape...and u even failed harry #tom would steal from me and id pat him on the head and give him more money idc #id spoil him rotten #surely anything is better than treating him like this #and not take responsibility for having a hand in shaping up a kid to turn out like this #this is a p incoherent post im writing this after just reading them #so im a bit emotional #its kinda sad seeing a character be doomed to the path he will soon take #i kinda wish that cc wasnt an extension of the original hp and instead is a spinoff/new series #with more focus on character drama and how the system of this school is broken af #then again with how jkr is maybe its a blessing that it wasnt #hp #rambles

Because I'm seeing cakegate on my dash again, let's stir up some old drama

#playchoices #the freshman #choices tf #the royal romance #choices trr #I'm gonna say it—Drake's was dumb as hell but you can't deny it was p in character for him #them rewriting it + trying to make him out to be a non-toxic masculinity icon later on was what wasn't consistent #(& you cant say the latter was character growth because they never presented it as a journey they just pretended the other never happened)#and see if he didn't want a pink cake just because he doesn't love the color that's valid #it's that he specifically said it was because it was girly that makes it a fragile masculinity thing #and by extension it's also a sexism thing and even a homophobia thing if you wanna view it that way too #the Abbie thing made people mad enough to give it a name (cakegate) and it sure is the icing on the cake for an already loathsome character #anyway I'm voting Abbie cause I hated it but I still think the fuss about the Drake one wasn't really warranted #like yeah I maintain it's a problematic comment but idk what to tell you man that's just the dude you romanced #like what aspect of his characterization leading up to that moment makes it take you by surprise or think it's ooc #and I say this as someone who originally married Drake and had him as one of my favorite LIs but that was Drake being Drake honestly #unconquered queries

Mirror Kira is something that can actually be so personal

#in a number of ways tbh like defo in a gay way and in terms of clone fucker rights and in terms of evil girlbossing etc etc but most of all #most of the mirror characters (to me) feel like au versions of the prime characters and obviously they ARE but they're still very much atta #attached to the prime characters y'know what i mean? like maybe not everyone but most mirror characters do feel like they basically are wha #the prime characters could've been if their lives had been different and like it's not completely out of the question for mirror kira but s #she still feels so... herself. like she's not defined by prime kira on any level. most mirror characters feel very defined by their prime c #counterparts and mirror kira... she's different. she is literally herself and no similarities will change that. she does not exist as an ex #extension of prime kira she is her own separate character. mirror kira could literally exist in the prime universe without even having to b #connected to prime kira by anything other than name and face. file off her serial numbers and you're golden & have a new and extremely comp #compelling villain. she is separate she's herself and nobody else. all the other mirror characters feel like twisted versions of the prime #characters who took a different path at some point. if there's any way to apply this to mirror kira that point would be her birth. like she #genuinely feels like they took a look at the circumstances on bajor in the mirror verse and thought about how a bajoran might grow up there #and THEN they made that bajoran kira. like i'm not saying she's nothing like prime kira but she just feels so much more developed tbh as if #they genuinely wrote out her whole life rather than just its present state y'know. it's great! i adore her #anyway #mirror kira nerys #mirrorverse #star trek deep space nine #ds9 #yes most of the meat of this post is in the tags lmao idek why #original posts fresh from quark's pussy

OC Smash or Pass

tagged by @mysticstarlightduck in their version of this here! thank you for giving me an excuse to talk about Cass :)

Rules: pretty self-explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc)

Cassandra no-last-name-yet

Stats

Height: 5'5

Age: 47

Gender: Female

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: No clue!

About Cass:

Oldest living member of the HSO, a spy organisation owned by elves. The world she exists in is one where humans and elves are not really all that friendly, and as a halfling she works for the elves to spy on humans. Due to the dangerous work she does and elves general disregard for their halfling citizens, Cass living to 47 is quite remarkable. She has a complicated relationship with her technically-adopted-but-it-doesn't-feel-like-it son Cyrus that isn't quite akin to parent and child.

Pros of Cass

Strong

Ambidextrous :)

Cool scars and tattoos

Scary

Cons of Cass

Intimidating

She will never love you more than she loves her son

Scary

tagging: @mysticstarlightduck (since you said wanted to do this for a couple characters I think?) @deanwax @wipsbymor @ashwithapen @ ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO (sorry in advance if the idea of talking about your characters like this makes you uncomfortable I'm scrambling to find people I'd feel normal tagging)

#tag game #oc smash or pass #oc #creative writing #original character #art #digital art #writing #writeblr #I am trying... to figure out... how to draw older people...#I feel like I'm getting closer with her #I wanted to do one of my main four but two of them are minors #and the other two aren't but I feel weird talking about them like that #idk okay they're like extensions of me and i'm a minor so it feels weird #the worst part of tag games is finding people to tag #am i supposed to tag people i know or just whoever shows up when I write @

me before experiencing the star wars fandom: "huh bix seems like a cool character. kinda underutilized though, i'm sad they didn't pull much on the threads of her being the main rebellion contact on ferrix and likely fencing stolen tech on the black market even before that. her isolated situation even when surrounded by community was really interesting and she clearly had a lot of potential there, I hope she gets to do more in season 2" *ready to move on*

half of the star wars fandom: "bix only exists as an accessory to cassian. if you talk about her, you should be talking about him"

the other half of the star wars fandom: "bix is a flat nothing character and anyone who sees anything to like about her just thinks she's hot. i will not consider anything else to like about her so clearly no one has"

me: "... ok it's now my life's mission to explore every bit of this character's circumstances and emotional depth i am thinking about her 24/7 she's everything to me i will defend her to the death"

#the show did her dirty but the fandom did her dirtier.#you don't have to like or care about her but the absurd volume of hate towards anyone who likes her is wild #and the refusal to see any depth in her while lovingly constructing extensive fan-canon about men with far less on-screen depth #reeks of unwillingness to engage with female characters #so. well. no one else will engage with her so i guess i will. all day every day. she's my whole brain now #andor #bix caleen #an e original

oh my god i just got to the pinnochimon's dangerous game episode (43)

oh my god you all were not kidding about that puppet packing heat

#sky talks #digimon #digimon adventure #the amount of out of context screenshots i just sent to our brother #i know it's serious in-text but i couldn't stop laughing jknfdsjkbfsdfs #like god damn how the hell did the dub manage to get around that at ALL??#i also know the stylistic contrast of Cute Cartoony Characters vs that's just a real ass gun is like #an artistic choice that the creators probably made #because again the text of the episode pretty explicitly shows that pinochimon doesn't really care about the consequences of shooting people #i doubt it's naivete so much as a lack of comprehension for the lives of others being more than “toys” to him #especially seeing his insecurities when tk calls him out on not having a single friend #and then when he “makes” a friend it's explicitly a doll shaped after him #because he's the only person he could see himself being a friend to #i always have such mixed feelings about the dark master's arc for reasons that this rewatch might actually remedy #but pinochimon's arc was always interesting in that it's one of few arcs in the original series that isn't super subtle about paralleling #one of the digidestined's current crises #like sub or dub it's super obvious that pinochimon is an inverse of yamato's crest of friendship #and by extension yamato himself #insecurity and a lack of trust in other people is what drives them both to suffer #yamato because he can't seem to imagine others in the group caring for his brother as much as he can #(which is a long-term issue but ramps up again in the dark master's arc unsurprisingly)#pinochimon because he can't trust any other digimon to be his equals #if anything pinochimon #along with all the dark masters #are like coworkers not friends #anyways #it's still extremely fucking jarring seeing that puppet boy packing heat
